Latest version.
-
The Board of Fisheries (board) recognizes the uncertainty in the stock assessment data used to develop the Hugh Smith Lake sockeye salmon biological escapement goal, the contribution of rehabilitation efforts in rebuilding the Hugh Smith Lake sockeye salmon stock, and the value and importance of commercial fisheries in southern Southeastern Alaska that incidentally harvest small numbers of Hugh Smith Lake sockeye salmon. The board hereby adopts an optimal escapement goal of 8,000 - 18,000 sockeye salmon for Hugh Smith Lake that includes spawning salmon of wild and hatchery origin.
